Thank you for the nice comment, I appreciate it.

Because you’re addicted to nicotine! Haha

You're welcome. I hope you get to enjoy that cigar.

I dig it too.

Ah yes, the tools of the craft. My Great grandfather used to run a cigar factory in Tampa, I believe it was called Diaz and sons. A cigar cutter was handed down to me… I wish I knew where it was.

@@blzbub8898 Let me know if you ever find it. I'd love to see a photo of it.

Thank you 🙂

Thank you for nice comment.

So glad to hear that! That's the same reason I roll.

That's fantastic! Nice job.

That's very true, at least the burning part.

Thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

It's a lot like thin leather!

Unfortunately they are impossible to get. I used to roll for events, but now I only roll for videos and private lessons.

Go for it!

Awesome!

Thank you very much for your very kind words. I am happy the algorithm found you.

Yeah I like it to be just right. I don't like it super lower either, but these 3/16" caps, kind ridiculous. 3/8" is about right.

Thank you. It's vegetable gum. Odorless and tasteless, made from wood fiber.

Thank you!

@@BlissCigarCo my pleasure

I roll pretty slowly because I'm rolling to make videos or for my own pleasure, rather than having to bust out a ton of cigars per day in a factory. On average it takes me about 3 minutes to bunch and 3 minutes to wrap, so 6 minutes each.

Thank you

Thank you!

De nada. Thanks for letting me know.

Thanks. Yeah, there is a beli roll in the Members section.

Yeah they are giant.

These are hard questions to answer. It's easy to suddenly have spent a lot of money on rolling equipment and tobacco, money which could have been spent on commercial cigars. Once the initial layout is absorbed, it's maybe $3 per stick for the tobacco. How long it takes depends on talent and time. Full-time trainees take a year to get to the most basic level; and yet, with a kit and trying to copy my moves in my videos, you can roll a smokeable cigar on your first try.

Your gym socks must smell like chocolate and espresso

@BlissCigarCo Haha they do seem to be very fine cigars. I just joke because I'm not personally a fan of any cigar lol

I appreciate that very much but I no longer sell. I only roll for videos and lessons.

All the ways in which they help me slow down, meditate, relax, and not multi-task.

@@BlissCigarCo That's pretty nice, make sense can see You have that passion precise excellence like that ;)

I share them with other rollers.

@@BlissCigarCo must be very satisfying seeing someone else enjoy something you crafted

@@connormatthews522 Yes, that's true

People with talent, about two years.

Yes it really depends on how good you are with your hands. Manual dexterity, attention to detail. Helps if you have other hobbies with those requirements. I tie flies for fishing and used to make wine. There are connections...

@@paulh9800 There are definitely connections. I imagine someone who ties flies could appreciate the pleasure of taking your time to make a good cap.

Cuban or Dominican?

@@BlissCigarCo I believe it's Dominican. I bought it at Christmas but never smoked it. My usual go to is Davidoff signature No.2. I'm not a connoisseur, I just very much enjoy a nice cigar when I get the chance. We are currently buying a house and I will be adapting the outbuilding to a office/gym/cigar lounge. With extraction and air purification. I then plan to purchase a box of Davidoff year of the dragon to adorne the table.

@@morgan1985uk Sounds great. I wonder what sort of RH that R&J is sitting in. Maybe if you're in the UK it's not too dry.

@@BlissCigarCo got it in a twist tube in a sandwich bag in a cool dark cupboard. It will be smoked in the coming weeks!

Does it? Huh.

In fact can I order some??

@@Bretonpaddy I don't roll them to sell anymore. I just roll for entertainment and education.

@@BlissCigarCo that's fair enough, it is good to watch!!!

You want the filler as dry as possible without it crumbling; also this audio makes it sound more crispy than it really was.

Vegetable gum

It's the ever so important saliva of a thousand wise men... All jokes aside this is pretty amazing

It smells pretty good. 🙂

Looks like I used the Ecuador Habano maduro for both wrapper and binder, and the probably 1 Domnican Seco, 2 Brazil viso, and 1/2 Nicaragua ligero. Almost 100% of the flavor and aroma of a cigar come from the wrapper and binder, so basically this is a maduro-flavored cigar.

@@BlissCigarCo I am curious how this would burn being mostly thicker maduro leaves.

@@aarongarner5155 Burned flawlessly. The maduro burns very well.

That's encouraging because I am going to receive some of that Maduro wrapper next week. I have been working with Connecticut broadleaf, love that flavor, but very difficult to work with given the veins and the thickness. I find it takes me 2 days of dry boxing before they will burn properly (unless they have a good six months of aging). Broadleaf is very fussy about its binder. I've had most success so far with Nicaraguan Esteli viso, for other blends as well. Beautiful leaf.

Any Cuban petit corona.

@@BlissCigarCo i went to my local smoke shop and just grabbed some random ones...lol. Enjoying my cigar and scotch right now. I am a new to cigars so just experimenting. But I will definitely go back and get what you suggested. I usually smoke a pipe but loving this cigar for sure. Thanks for your reply. You got a new sub. 😃

@@imchronicallyme1339 Yeah, most cigars in most shops are pretty decent. Thanks.

It squeezes the bunch to make the cigar smooth and the draw correct.

Vegetable gum

It's not harsh, because it's not inhaled. Cigar smoke isn't inhaled (not the same kind of tobacco as cigs) and is usually very smooth in the mouth.

@@BlissCigarCo thanks for taking the time to explain that, glad you enjoy it brother

Water to soften the leaves, and vegetable gum to glue them.

It is a very satisfying hobby

Yes, that's true of a premium cigar like this one. A Swisher or Dutch is wrapped in a tobacco-based substance and contains additives; but a premium cigar is nothing but leaf.

Snoop Dog - Blunts ... Not worthy. Bliss way outclasses blunt crap. >>> Pay attention !

Exactly. This ain't no blunt

Actually I kind of look like him, too.

Yes but I don't give those videos away for free

Actually I don't have any relationship to Fort Bliss Cigars. I called myself Bliss Cigar Co 15 years ago when I started rolling for entertainment/events.

@@BlissCigarCo oh wow , well i live in switzerland , but to see (and smoke) this live sure sounds like an awesome event! so i guess i couldnt order your cigars then? in any case, thats a beautiful hobby/passion you found, thanks for sharing🤙

@@alonso11h Thank you. Yes, that's true, I cannot sell my cigars.
